shit..

im making 20psi by ~5000rpm..

thats with e85, poncams and stempipe manifold

Wtf??? That's shit as. Way too late for a 3076. I got a stock ported manifold and stock cams (have a cam gear only) and is internally gated.

Just looked at your boost line and looks lazy. What controller you using? Or just off the external gate

Hi there,

From what you write about your high-flowed turbo I would buy immediately buy it, since it sounds like lots

of low down grunt and fun :) Who made this unit???

I have this nice boost controller, it has 3 settings .. 'off' 'low' 'high' ... wouldn't that help to tame the unit?

Anyhow, the car is used as anything from grocery getter to daily driver (though not as a commuter)

From time to time for the drag strip, but not on a 'professional basis'

My insurance policy states 'recreational use' and that's the truth ..

I wouldn't want too much downtime with the turbo upgrade, and I have a good mechanic at hand who

does very good work (but only at weekends)

Here in the UK there's is quite some backfround noise with High Flowed Turbos, usually you get no 'hard data' on these.

'They' just state 'stage1' or 'stage2' and that's something I wouldn't buy especially when being quite pricy...

I had a recommendation for a HKS28xx kit .. but that was very pricey ...

Cheers from London,

Andrew

I had a hiflow at 250rwkw and it was sometimes pretty hard to drive. Made heaps of boost and came on hard way too early in the rev range. On wet days if you tried to accelerate in 4th from say 70 to 100km/h you'd get wheel spin all the time. Fun but a real PITA, you couldn't always count on controlling it. Not saying all hiflows are like this, but mine was.

Stopping at uphill sets of traffic lights on wet days - just thinking about it used to make me break out in cold sweats. I'd plan my route to avoid having to go through them.

I went to a 3076 with external gate and WMI at 300rwkw and its a totally better vehicle all round. Good reliable steady progressive power. Transformed the car, made it a damn sight easier to live with. So its not called lag, its called control to me!!!

But buying and installing such a turbo takes more effort and $$$$ than one that bolts up to the std dumps etc. It really depends on your end goals and what you want to do with the car long term. Also - if you buy say a hypergear hiflow as an interim step - how easy would it be to resell later and get your $$$ back when you decide to up size??? Simple things like this can help make your build more progressive and easier on the bank account.

Too much boost early in the rev range. WTF? Never heard that before. You should drive a 6L Supercharged V8. That's low down power. You need to learn some right foot control. Throttle isn't an on/off switch.

Hi there,

I still would like to know who made this high flowed unit???

Cheers from London :)

It was hiflowed by GCG in Sydney, not sure if it was a completely std turbo to start with, it came on the car. From memory it went from 50/7? to 56/76 but I could be wrong there, I gave all the paperwork to the person who bought it off me. I also had other mods that allowed the 250rwkw to be made [fmic, pfc, tomei cams, dump, exhaust, hiflow cat, z32, etc etc]. But as I said I didn't like its power delivery, was not as progressive.

The 3076 makes 50kw more power but has a much better power delivery and more of it [in the rev range] where you need it.

If I was you I'd send Stao from Hypergear a PM and get one of his units, only ever heard good things about his product.

Yeah ... I will send him a PM, he seems to have lots of experience and also documents his results well.

There's an inner voice that says 'go high mount, go high mount'. ;) But that would involve too much downtime (but would be quite sexy)

Many thanks ...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
